Under The Twilight

There is a horse out there who has quietly made Salisbury racecourse feel like a second home, and its name is Under The Twilight. This eight-year-old has built a career record of 7 wins and 17 places from 43 races — winning roughly 1 in every 6 outings overall — but the really striking number is what happens when it turns up at Salisbury specifically. Three wins from just 6 races there. That is a 50% win rate at one particular venue, which in horse racing terms is extraordinary. Most horses never win at the same track twice. Under The Twilight has done it three times from half a dozen visits, which tells you there is something about that track — whether the layout, the ground, the way the race tends to unfold — that genuinely suits this horse.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The wider career picture is solid rather than spectacular. Seven wins from 43 races, mostly competing at Class 4 level — the middle tier of British racing, well below the top events but competitive enough that you have to be a decent horse to keep winning there. Three wins from 17 races at that level (18%, or roughly 1 in every 5 and a half) is a respectable return. The first career win came at Chelmsford back in October 2021, and the most recent was at Windsor in June 2025, so there is a long thread of achievement running through this horse's story across nearly four years.

The current form, though, is where things get interesting in a less comfortable way. Under The Twilight has gone six races without a win, and the last few runs show a horse gradually slipping down the finishing order — a fourth and a second giving way to a sixth, an eighth, a seventh, and a deeply disappointing seventeenth. That is a horse that went close, then faded, then had a genuinely poor day. Raced just yesterday, it remains active, which at least shows durability.

Jockey Harry Davies has been the regular partner, and together they have won 2 of their 10 races — 20%, or 1 in every 5 — which is actually above the horse's overall average and suggests a good working relationship. Trainer Michael Blake, based in Trowbridge in Wiltshire, has had 2 winners from his yard so far this season. The form dip is real, but if Under The Twilight turns up at Salisbury again, history says do not write it off.
